I'm really considering buying these. $99. What do ya think?

Gimmick, probably made like shiot....

They are anodized billet aluminum! Money back if not satisfied....

From the video graphic in the ad...that's not what I want to see.

^Right! Like the worst oh shit, here we go again feeling that one is... The website URL is comical also....

But hey, money back, you can't go wrong... You might even spot the PIG before he lights you up, just before so you have a chance to act worse than you already did and give him a reason to pull you over if he doesn't already... Fuckers, I highsided riding like an ass cause i saw a cop... put a clutch lever through my leg that time.... oh well... besides the point i suppose...

Might work on an inline. I think that the vibration from the twin would loosen up the mirrors and cause them to re-adjust theirselves.

A little clunky but great if you are going to be towing a large trailer!

I like the idea..I'd be interested to see how well they hold up being used a lot...and the design/shape leaves something desired

Actually, for the billet alu work, I like the design and look... The bulky mirror doesn't do it for me though, some shape or line just seems off to my eye, but I guess that is the trade-off to have the stalk hide in there...

I'm pretty certain that they will work just fine on a V-twin in terms of vibration... At least as long as he used a rubber grommet or something to lock it with "drag" at the end of the tightening...

Agreed. I'm not crazy on the shape of 'em. Still debating.

I could live with everything but the price, not knowing if there's a vibe or stability problem (don't want to have to keep readjusting) If you go on these please post.

I am thinking of buying a cheap used set of stock mirrors for my S-hawk to perform "surgical experiments in the name of science" I want to see if I can cut the stalk, and insert some form of decent looking tubing to make them stick out further.

Just use a painters pole. You'll be riding down the road, wacking people in the head that are walking down the sidewalk, grinning the whole time, because you know that you can see past your elbow. lol (thwack!) Sorry, I can just picture that scenario in my head :D

be kinda cool in the garage since i'm always bumping into mine.

Be a little difficult to adjust that right one on the fly w/o cruise control.

I want electronic operation capability.

Save yourself the headache... The stalks are made by some crappy pot-metal on the OEM mirrors, and it's not really userfriendly to work with... I suggest you get either a pair of extension blocks or adapt some other mirrors... (search the forums & eBay for a lot of info, including a detailed description of how someone did extend their mirrors and why it's a PITA)

Smart.

OK, you probably just saved me $50 and a Saturday afternoon. I have seen several posts about fitting other mirror types, but thought I had come upon an idea no one had tried before.

I came across these the other day, the shape is much better IMO and come in different colors as well. I have not bought them yet but if nobody else does before i get my hawk and get into ridding season i think i will..
